Lessons and Benefits from the Marital Life of the Prophet

An insightful look in to the perfect manners and morals of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) in his dealings with his wives. The author carefully selects fifteen hadeeth ranging from issues of approaching marriage to wedding celebrations to issues of rights, disagreement and reconcilement - all of which exemplify the beautiful conduct of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) combining the ultimate balance of wisdom, mercy and justice.

The author states in his introduction:
"No doubt the mannerism and the character of the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) is an example that Muslims generation after generation have tried to emulate, and this is because of the exemplary traits and qualities that Allaah has bestowed upon him. And from these noble characteristics is the manner in which he treated his wives and his children, for the one who ponders on this aspect of his life stands astounded in awe and admiration for this noble Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam)."
